Popular Forte Dei Marmi 4-star Hotels

For context, I am a veteran traveler to Italy for more than 35 years having traveled for both work and pleasure. Presently I am a part-time tour operator organizing tours to Italy and have traveled as a guest with the Italian Government Tourist Agency/ENIT. In Italy I have stayed in luxury hotels and in simple agriturismos and have never experienced an absence of customer service on this level. Here's what happened. During our two-night stay which started out pleasantly at this somewhat 'tired' hotel, on the first night my adult son reserved a used beach cruiser bike the hotel offers guests. The bike was unfortunately stolen. (He locked it in a proper bike rack) When we reported the theft to the hotel owner, we were treated with a lack of respect or empathy as hotel guests but rather as criminals and not a victim of crime. We promptly contacted the US Consulate who encouraged us to ask the hotel to file a report with the local police. We asked for the owner’s assistance and he said ‘no’. And, before offering to help with any additional inquiry he promptly demanded payment for the bike. I asked to see documentation on the date the bike was purchased and the original price. He said he did not have it but would provide it by the end of the day. We asked about the hotel insurance policy which he claimed did not cover the bike. He did say the bike was used and thought he paid $280 about 18 months prior…(Note: we noticed the loaner bikes were left outdoors, not in an indoor storage facility.) Following the advice from the US Consulate we went on our own to the local police station and filed a statement. (This was a two hour ordeal which cut into our two day stay...) They suggested we provide the report to the hotel owner which upon showing it to him he reluctantly accepted. At the end of the day, the owner said the paperwork he requested from the bike shop had still not arrived. At this point he became very belligerent and berated us for not agreeing on a payment even though we offered to pay 1/3 which we thought reasonable for a used bike without seeing the date and price he paid for it. We had an early morning train the next day and requested to check out that evening and he would not let us without restitution on the bike. (Note: again the paperwork he said he’d have was never provided and apparently he did not feel the 1/3 for the bike was sufficient.) Following his hostile verbal demeanor, we called the police to ask them to help arrange for a checkout. An hour later the police said everything was taken care of. At the checkout that night (with a hotel employee, not the owner) we paid our bill and noticed a “service charge” of $140. We were told this was for the bike payment. This was half of the original “alleged” price as we never saw a receipt. We paid this amount to get the unpleasant experience behind us. Would highly advise against staying at this tired facility despite its close location to the beach.

We recently stayed here with family. The hotel staff were all so friendly and helpful and very welcoming when we arrived too! The hotel and rooms were very clean. The breakfast was excellent with a great selection. The small pool was a great place to relax each day after a lot of walking or cycling on bikes we rented from the hotel. We would definitely recommend and can’t wait to stay here again!

I’ve booked 2 rooms for my wife and our two kids… Staff tries their best to support customers with the available possibilities. Rooms are renovated at some point but doesn’t make it up to a 4 star standard. I’ve been at many places in Italy, Europe and world wide. But this hotel doesn’t deserve to have 4 stars. Best off you’re with 2 stars here, and let them work towards a 3rd. Poorly equipped rooms with minimalistic basics are a disgrace. Rooms are partly clean, with remaining sand/dirt and probably other previous room guests belongings. Air conditioning doesn’t work, remember to keep all doors / windows closed, then it will run and makes strange noises to get you off bed, but won’t cool you off. Minibar fridge is filled, but won’t cool the containing drinks and just makes noise. Rooms are without glasses for your drinks. No complimentary bottled water is provided by the hotel. Pool urgently requires cleaning to remove the stains along the water level area and the water itself. There’s no towel service at the pool. Shower at the pool didn’t work either (no water). If you drive any SUV or station wagon, you won’t be able to park inside their parking, which is available for additional € 30.-/day. Maybe you’re lucky and get a spot in front of the hotel (+€15,-/day). If not, find a spot along the street side. Bikes are available for rental +€14.- / persons & day. Good thing is, hotel is in walking distance to the beach. And for the final, the breakfast; A wide variety of breads, Cereals, fruits and more. But not at 4-Star level quality. Enjoy your stay….

High cost performance

Great hotel in a good location for the motorway and to go down to the seafront, embraced by the mountain views. Clean, fresh and contemporary decor throughout the hotel. Rooms clean and tidy. One negative about the rooms is that the boiling of the kettle is located above 5ft high, apart from that the rooms are very nice. Pool is clean but a bit cool. Restaurant has a good selection of ala carte food at a fair price. All staff very polite. A big plus here also is the ample amount if car parking and electric charging.
